Approximately 18,500 people have been displaced across the governorates of Taiz and Al-Hodeidah in Yemen since hostilities escalated on September 3, according to a press release by the International Organization for Migration (IOM). Renewed clashes along the country's western coast have forced thousands from their homes, with civilians reportedly among those killed and injured. Figures are rising by the hour as families arrive at host communities and displacement sites. The data has been compiled through IOM's Displacement Tracking Matrix in coordination with government and partners. Over 2,000 families have been uprooted as fighting intensifies.
